Lucio and Stephens garner OVC weekly honors

Stephens was named the OVC Player of the Week, while Lucio
earned the OVC Pitcher of the Week award.

A native of Soddy-Daisy, Tenn., Stephens finished the week
batting .588, which included one home run in each of TTU’s
four games. His seven runs and eight RBI also led the team as he
maintained a 1.412 slugging percentage. His two-run home run
against Central Michigan Saturday turned out to be the game
winner.

A freshman out of Locust Grove, Ga., Lucio earned his first
career win as he threw 8.1 innings while striking out 11 batters
while giving up just five hits. His 11 strikeouts were the most by
any Tech pitcher in one game this season.
